I saw the Breeders with Adam and another friend last night, in Melbourne.

They were wonderful! We got there not long before they got onstage, just in time to get a beer and then a step position at the back of the main mob (not close to the stage, but they did have screens around the place). Took a little while to warm up but the second half of the show was wonderful. A lot of favourites from Last Splash and quite a few off the newest Mountain Battles. Title TK and Pod were not as broadly covered though Iris and Happiness Is A Warm Gun were welcome additions (with Adam's extra Beatle's vocals as well!!). The band were quite extended, I think there were 6 onstage for the main part of the show but they dropped back to the tradtional four for the two encores. The show was a little short, there were a few classics that were missed (Don't Call Home being a personal fave that was missed) but a great night out, and the crowd were really into them.

Not as electric as the Pixies were last year, Kim is just gorgeous but it's Frank who has the electrifying stage presence. Bring on Oct 2 when Adam and I are off to see Black Francis at the Forum

my face is finished, my body's gone and i can't help but think,standin' up here in all this applause and gazin' down at all the young and the beautiful with their questioning eyes,that i must above all things love myself
